The trust and boldness that faith in God and His word gives. "In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence;" "The Lord shall be thy confidence." Proverbs 3:26; Proverbs 14:26 . "We are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our 'assurance' firm unto the end." Hebrews 3:14 . In contrast to this the 'fearful' are classed with the 'unbelieving.' Revelation 21:8 .
